Buick Pic Reshoot
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will try and do an outdoor reshoot of the car.
1956 Buick Colors
Wanted to let you know that all of the modifications that Chris Senyitko does for me are with original factory colors for the particular year and car. I do the research on the car being modified to see the different color options, look up the color charts and then have Chris purchase the paint and proceed with the modification. We also discuss changes to the car such as removing fender skirts, adding wire wheels etc.
1956 Buick Modification
The colors on the 1956 Buick are black top, yellow center and black bottom. As with all of the modifications that Chris Senyitko does for me, the colors that are chosen are correct for the year, make and model. I research 1:1 cars to see what was available, check color charts and then Chris purchases the paint and does the modification. Sometimes we discuss other details such as removal of fender skirts, adding wire wheels etc.
Chris must be one talented modeler...
... I've only completely disassembled one die cast so far for my DM wrecker/dumptruck conversion,

so I know how tedious it is. I had two of these in so-so condition, so no great loss if I totally screwed up. Besides, making a "weathered" model is more forgiving than what Chris is doing for you. Impressive!
Is it just my monitor, or is the interior on this Buick green?
